In-App Chat + Omnichannel Helpdesk = Seamless Customer Experience

For an e-commerce business, a mobile app is a short-cut to both customers’ wish list and heart. Dzisiaj, most of the millennials are familiar with mobile apps for making online purchases.

But mobile app purchases are inherently different from web purchases.

For this, let’s understand by considering the case of atypical millennial e-commerce customer. For now, we’ll name him Jerod. He’s cozy with making his online purchases through his mobile app.

Jerod has ordered a flower bouquet for his girlfriend living in another City. Unfortunately, he forgot to change the delivery address since the last time he ordered the flowers. Teraz, he’s confused in deciding between canceling the order or risk having the flowers being delivered to a random girl living on the same address and face a very unhappy girlfriend.

Needless to say, it’s much more convenient for Jerod to cancel the particular order than expend time and energy to figure out how to change the delivery address.

Almost all e-commerce buyers can relate to this as we all have faced this situation at some point. This is one of the biggest reasons for order cancellations and returns.

From ane-commerce business’sperspective, they need to handle hundreds or even thousands of orders per day. The customers having second thoughts about their orders and the consequent cancellations can off-set their numbers in a big way.

W tej sytuacji, the e-commerce players should have the right strategy to avoid order cancellations and rejections.

Turning Challenges into Opportunities

If your e-commercemobile appis installed on the website, it’ll definitely take you ahead of the competitor at acquiring new customer orders.

But as we have seen, it also brings multiple challenges in managing and fulfilling those customers’ orders. Within this bracket, you can also include similar operational issues such as delayed orders, operational issues, itp.

W tej sytuacji, an in-app chat feature provides your customers with an easy and straightforward way to engage with your audience. By having a chat system within the e-commerce app, your customers can be assured that you’ll be available if anything goes off-the-rail after the purchase.

In-app Chat: – Completing your in-app Purchase Experience

In order to acquire regular purchases, you need to improve your customer experience. For this, you need to ask an important question ‘what constitutes a great online purchase experience?’

A great purchase experience happens when everything goes as per the expectation. In order to facilitate a great in-app purchase experience, an e-commerce business should be able to pre-define these potential challenges and provide directly actionable resolutions.

Na przykład, let’s take the case of Jerod. As soon as he realizes that he needs to change the address, he’ll look for the easiest and the most practical way to make the necessary change.

A successful e-commerce business would be able to do this through the chat utility within the mobile app.

With an in-app chat solution, your customer can raise queries about any of their previous orders. By having all their previous orders on a single screen, the customer can choose any of their previous order.

W tym samym czasie, the support team can individually manage each customer’s order.

Afterward, the support team member can make the requisite changes and confirm the same to the customer.

By managing all the changes through a single cloud-based helpdesk platform, you can prevent customer service mishaps where a customer request could potentially go unheeded.

In-app to Multi-channel Conversation

When an in-app chat is a great solution, it’s not a great idea to limit your customer support to a single channel of interaction.

For this, let’s examine a case where the mobile isn’t immediately accessible to the customer. In case your customer mobile runs out of power or gets buried deep within the bag, the in-app chat support system could become inaccessible to your customers.

In this way, your users can seamlessly transition from an in-app chat to any other alternate channel of communication. This could be Facebook chat or email or a direct phone call.
